With the overall relocation of Shanxi Normal University, this long-established school officially joined the ranks of the "Old Eight Schools of Shanxi" and gathered in the provincial capital. This historic moment not only symbolizes a new starting point for Shanxi Normal University in its educational career, but also means that the Linfen Campus's more than 60-year mission will come to an end temporarily.
The end is not the end, but a new beginning. After the completion of the asset acquisition, the Linfen campus will usher in a new planning and transformation. It will continue to carry the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people with a new attitude, and welcome the arrival of the next batch of students.
